“Working with the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce has truly set me up for success. They introduced me to new connections, supported my ideas, and gave me projects that challenged me. Now, I run a social media marketing agency in Arvada, Colorado. I would not have been able to begin down the path of entrepreneurship if it wasn’t for the positive impact this internship provided.”
